The property maintains a Fair Condition Rating (50/100), suggesting the property is in acceptable condition with potential for value enhancement through selective updates and improvements.

Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1949, this estate is described as a 'step back in time' and functions as a well-preserved time capsule. While the home is meticulously maintained and move-in ready, the interior finishes—including the kitchen cabinetry, parquet flooring, and traditional light fixtures—are significantly dated and do not meet modern luxury standards. The kitchen features some newer stainless steel appliances, but the overall aesthetic and layout reflect older construction with no evidence of a recent major renovation. It fits the 'Fair' category as an aged but functional home that requires modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 57499, living area = 3399.
Elementary School: Happy Valley Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Orinda Intermediate School (9/10). High School: Miramonte High School (10/10).
The property sits on a rare and highly desirable 1.32-acre flat parcel in the prestigious Happy Valley area, offering a massive, usable canvas for outdoor amenities or estate expansion.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 5.
Built in 1949 and described as a 'step back in time,' the home likely requires significant modernization and capital investment to meet the standards of today's luxury buyers.
At a $6.8 million price point, the high cost of acquisition for what is primarily a land-value or major renovation opportunity may limit the pool of buyers willing to take on a project of this scale.
Opportunity of a lifetime in Happy Valley. A step back in time . . . this beautiful estate home is perfectly situated on unquestionably one of the most spectacular flat 1.32± acre parcels in the valley. Up a private lane, away from the hustle and bustle, this gracious single-level home and its breathtaking sunbathed grounds and tennis court offers unlimited possibilities to live a lifestyle like few others. Must see to appreciate the allure and magnitude of its splendor.
